Equality Within Paradise Lost While Milton’s retelling of the biblical tale of man’s origin within Paradise Lost is true to the bible‚ he manages to reinvent it in a slightly different manner – a manner that brings to light new questions about the roles Adam and Eve played in the fall of human kind. Speaking more specifically‚ his retelling of the fall of man seems to bring up questions about how gender operates within the biblical world and how it may relate to the time Milton comes from.

However‚ Satan does indirectly admit

WEEK FIVE- Lincoln and the Lost Cause Last week Lincoln was a patron saint‚ but in this week’s readings‚ anywhere from one to four decades after his assassination‚ the white southerners have denounced him a despot. Never before in our readings have we seen this view of Lincoln discussed‚ and it seems to me that they are blaming everything on Lincoln in order to scape goat all off the problems they had caused (did not want to admit they were at fault). They even go as far to say that Lincoln should

He uses Satan’s heroic qualities to his followers‚ and his ability to corrupt to show the thin line between good and evil. Satan was one of the highest angels in Heaven‚ Milton
